In this session of the Metaphysics Grand Competition, several senior brothers from the Xingyi Sect were injured due to previous accidents, leaving only one healthy Ju Jingbai.
The surrounding...
"That bastard Xu Cheng is here too." Qin Shijun lowered his head and cursed.
Ju Jingbai looked at the chubby young man next to Xu Ge, and saw that her senior brother also had a frown on his face. She even vaguely felt the fighting spirit of her senior brother next to her.
"Xiaobai, I guessed you must have passed too." Yuan An saw Ju Jingbai coming over and enthusiastically walked over to settle him next to Xu Ge. "You two should sit together so you can look after each other. Xu Ge, you can explain it to them. I have a new colleague here who still needs to get acquainted."
Ju Jingbai and Xu Ge looked at each other.
Xu Ge smiled, bringing out his lifelong acting prowess, and greeted the two men, "Sit down, don't be so reserved. Big Brother, take a seat over here. Our Special Investigations Division is different from the regular Criminal Police Brigade. After all, we deal with more metaphysical issues, so there aren't as many rules."
Ju Jingbai sat down stiffly, feeling inexplicably awkward and a little funny.
"Everyone, please introduce yourselves first," Xu Ge said. "My name is Xu Ge, and I'm from the Xu family in Jingxi Town."
"Practice the same Qin Shijun style."
"I am Ju Jingbai of the Xingyi School."
"My name is Xu Cheng, and I'm also from the Xu family of Jingxi Town." Xu Cheng only introduced himself to Ju Jingbai, but when he taunted, he looked at Qin Shijun with a wide expression, "Our families are so close, we should all know each other. So stop pretending. You also got the admission ticket from that bus sacrifice case last time, right?"
"What? Are you going to say that I'm taking advantage of you again?" Qin Shijun sneered.
"You're just taking advantage of me. I'm telling you, you're not even as good as your junior sister."
"It's like you're better than my junior sister."
"I can't compare with her, but my cousin is much better than your junior sister." Xu Cheng snorted.
"So what? My little sister is so young and has a much brighter future than your cousin."
Ju Jingbai: "..." What a psycho! !
She only knew that the eldest senior brother and Xu Cheng did not get along, but she had never seen the two of them get along with each other.
She never expected that her senior brother would check his papers until the last second. Such a calm person would have such a primary school-like quarreling style.
Xu Ge coughed and changed the subject.
"Well, please stop praising me and my junior sister.
You should all have had experience interacting with people in the Bureau before, and you should be familiar with our Investigation Division's case-handling style. The reason we've moved up the exam time for the external staff is because the Bureau has discovered an organization."
"You've probably all heard about the new type of zombies the bureau brought back a few days ago. After investigating, we found a website with various tasks, mostly related to sinister events. For example, you can connect with people who help with funeral ceremonies, and you can also help test and design large-scale soul-binding formations."
Ju Jingbai vaguely knew that Xu Ge had been holding meetings about this topic for the past few days.
But after listening to what Xu Ge said, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
A heaviness slowly welled up in her heart.
"This organization doesn't have many people inside, but there are many customers browsing the website. Most of the people introduced are wealthy people, such as the Qin family, a wealthy family. Some of the less wealthy ones include the owner of a seafood market, the owner of a flower and bird market, etc."
Xu Ge saw that Ju Jingbai's face turned pale, and changed the subject.
"Of course, there have been many such incidents. We have also followed the clues and found the person in charge of the website. We will gradually close the net in the next few months. They have many branches and the people inside are quite experienced. The police do not have enough manpower."
Qin Shijun nodded: "In that case, does my junior sister want to go with us?"
"Of course I'm going." Ju Jingbai asked curiously.
"It's like this. You may not be aware of the situation. My junior sister has been particularly afraid of ghosts since she was a child. I'm afraid she can't handle such a situation." Qin Shijun was very clear about the shortcomings of his junior sister.
Ju Jingbai was really so moved that he didn't know what to do.
Because she is afraid of ghosts, Xing Yijiao is particularly careful in this regard.
Her fellow practitioners were not thinking about how to help her overcome her fear of ghosts, but rather about clearing up all incidents involving ghosts. They also particularly disapproved of her dealing with any supernatural events.
So at school, except for the first time she saw a ghost and was frightened and asked her grandfather for help, and after finding a solution, she didn't tell her family anything else.
Before, she was only thinking about not letting her senior brother know about her and Xu Ge.
Until just now, her senior brother asked her for her admission ticket.
She suddenly remembered that she still had such a big problem to explain.
Xu Ge subconsciously looked at Ju Jingbai's expression. Seeing that Ju Jingbai was trying hard to give him hints, he said, "Well, I'll talk to Yuan An about it then, and I can let Junior Sister be the logistics officer."
Ju Jingbai nodded in appreciation.
"Xiaobai is so powerful, why does he need to do logistics?" Yuan An walked around and assigned an old veteran to explain the tasks to each group. He turned back to Xu Ge and heard Xu Ge's words. He interrupted curiously, "When I went to Junyue to collect the team, I saw that Xiaobai was already immune to ghosts. Xu Ge..."
"..." The good situation was broken, and Ju Jingbai had a blank expression on his face.
Qin Shijun looked at Ju Jingbai: "Xiaobai?"
Yuan An saw that the atmosphere was not right, laughed it off, turned around and walked towards other police officers.
"This is something we should be happy about, but what's that expression on your face? Are you worried that your junior sister will surpass you in cultivation?!" Xu Cheng was upset when he saw Qin Shijun's big bald head. "I don't think you need to worry about this kind of thing. Isn't it just a matter of time?!"
Qin Shijun looked at Ju Jingbai without saying anything.
"Brother, didn't I tell you that things were complicated before I came in? I'll explain it to you in detail when we go back later." Ju Jingbai said guiltily.
Xu Ge came to Ju Jingbai's rescue: "Brother, here are all the materials of the case, you can take a look."
Qin Shijun took the information and looked through it.
Ju Jingbai breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the information.
As soon as she finished reading the information, Yuan An pulled out the large screen in front of the table, briefly reviewed the case, and then ended this simple meeting.
The Special Investigations Office welcome party was held in a restaurant not far from their school.
No drinking, just a simple meal.
Everyone introduced their factions and names in batches.
The Miao man who came to inquire about her at that time, Yan Rong, also passed the exam and his score seemed to be quite high, ranking third. I just don't know why he came to inquire about her on behalf of the big brother in black.
"Okay, now it's just the two of us. Can you explain what happened today and how did you get the admission ticket?" After the welcome party, Xu Ge and Xu Cheng left.
On the way Qin Shijun sent her back to school, he began to question her seriously.
"That's right, I have opened my Yin-Yang eyes.
When I first saw the ghost, I called my grandfather immediately, but he was in seclusion.
I was truly terrified at the time, and since Xu Ge happened to know me, I instinctively went to him to resolve my Yin-Yang Eyes issue. Ju Jingbai habitually began by describing his own plight to garner sympathy.
“The matter of the Yin-Yang Eyes hasn’t been resolved yet, but I discovered that there’s a little ghost following my roommate.
You don't know, that little ghost looks so scary,
It was Yuan An whom Xu Ge met when he was helping me solve my roommate’s problem.
He found that I was very popular with the ghosts, and thought that my physique was very special and my skills were not bad, so he issued me an admission ticket. " Ju Jingbai explained the matter in a simple way.
"What do you mean by very pleasing to ghosts?" Qin Shijun's expression was solemn.
"That's right, some ghosts said that in their eyes I am colorful."
Qin Shijun raised his hand and touched his bald head, thinking: "Then are your Yin-Yang eyes closed?"
"Not yet." Ju Jingbai said, "But Xu Ge is helping me figure out how to overcome my fear of ghosts. I think if I can cure it, I won't have to lock myself up anymore."
"Are you familiar with Xu Ge?"
"No, it's just a simple cooperative relationship." Ju Jingbai said.
"That's good. Considering the urgency of the matter, you'll be excused this time." Qin Shijun also knew Xiaobai's temperament, so he softened his voice and said, "Next time if you have any problems, you can call not only Master but also your fellow apprentices."
"I understand, senior brother, don't worry." Ju Jingbai said with a smile.
"Well, I should stay for two days this time. I will tell my master about your matter after I go back. Do you want to go out and play with me tomorrow?" Qin Shijun asked.
"Go ahead, there's a really delicious restaurant near our school. I'll take you there tomorrow."
When they got near the school, Qin Shijun noticed that more and more people were watching them.
"I forgot to wear a hat before I went out, so my bald head is still quite conspicuous." Qin Shijun said.
"Yeah, but you look very handsome with a bald head, Senior Brother." Ju Jingbai looked up and scanned the crowd. It seemed that many people recognized her. "Many handsome guys in our school don't have the same turn-around rate as you."
"Really?" Qin Shijun laughed and sent the man to the school gate. He couldn't help but say, "You've met the Xu family today. Don't think they are good people just because they helped you. For example, Xu Cheng has taken advantage of me so many times before. Xu Xiang even took the task that the waiter had selected right in front of him.
I've seen Xu Ge before, he's very cunning and a troublemaker."
"I know. I'm not familiar with him. If I insist that we have a relationship, then I'm just using him." Ju Jingbai said firmly.
After watching Qin Shijun take a taxi away, Ju Jingbai tightened his hat and turned back to the dormitory.
The nights are getting colder in late October, and there wasn't even a moon tonight.
Around eight o'clock, there were people walking around the campus, which made it seem less scary.
Ju Jingbai was annoyed by the stares from all around her. She hadn't seen any ghosts on campus in the past two days. She simply stopped chatting with the people in the dormitory, tightened her coat, and took a shortcut to rush to the dormitory building.
The path that Ju Jingbai mentioned is a small landscape that runs diagonally through the area. There are tall trees and a small pergola, and young couples are often seen making love here.
But there wasn't a single couple out for a date today.
Ju Jingbai slowed down his pace and suddenly heard someone shouting for help.
"Help... Help, I'm in this well... Who on earth stole the manhole cover here?! Help... Is there anyone here?"
